http://mesopotamia.mrdonn.org/meso08.gif = __Roles of Women__ = This section is to compare the roles of women in ancient and modern day societies. These links provide an extensive look into the home life, marriage, and societal values for women. It is important to understand that the ancient cultures expectations of women still exist in some way today, and some of their expectations are a little "out of line" for today's expectations. These sites will provide an eye-opening look into the lives of ancient women, which will allow you to compare and contrast the women of ancient times to modern day women. The fundamental principles of ancient cultures connect to today's society through the evolution of women. In Egyptian times women had equal rights as men, and had duties to care for the family. Later, during ancient Greek civilizations, women were restricted in what they could do. They had little political rights and were not highly respected by people in the society. Which is completley different from the Egyptian women, whom were very repsected. Despite the fact that Egyptian and Greek women had great differences in their rights and roles, some of these roles are evident in today's society.
